Hey, man. Jumpscares are the only way you can scare people! I mean what do YOU think is scary? Slowly building up tension through clever and atmospheric storytelling? Pfft, nah. Stinger sound effects with a spooky face.
The first movie might not have been that great, but the way it looked was phenomenal... visually it looked JUST LIKE the game and the tone was amazing. I have to give it credit for that.
Well considering that they had to make a set with three different worlds. The normal world, the fog world and the world where everything is rotten they nailed the atmosphere of the original game. And there is alot of symbolism as to what happened to the town and specifically Alessa. Sure the script is not perfect (in the original movie) but I like to think of it as a underrated horror film adapted from a game.
kit harington isn't that great of an actor really he is pretty good in GoT but really sucks compared to Lena Headey, Charles Dance, Alfie Allen, Peter Dinklage etc. etc.
+JakeTakesTheCakes The actual Silent Hill games did have jump scares. It's really more about the way the jumpscares are presented. Are they there to just give you a cheap jolt? Or are they there to add to the dread and freakiness of the situation? That's where the line is drawn.
I sort of wish someone would make a Silent Hill film with a completely new story, that complimented the existing games rather than trying to adapt them. That way, hopefully more thought would go into it.
Dylan Rollins Yeah...I'm with Adam, SH3 is my favorite, despite its flaws, because Heather is just so much fun to play as. But they butchered her so badly in the movie that it's just unforgivable, which is sad, since I think the story would really make for a great film if handled properly.
Dylan Rollins I don't trust people to write new silent hill stories after all the games and every single game that came after 4. They all had awful stories
+Dylan Rollins if i won the euro millions lottery i would put as much as I could into funding the making of a proper silent hill movie, probably based on the second game (as the existing films already ruined 1 & 3). I would offer all the original team silent members huge sums of money to be in charge of the story/script, music and visual design, with a film making studio team at their disposal that has to comply to all their ideas. And as a fan I would not expect profit or even all my money back, I would aim to have the film be a cult classic psychological horror masterpiece rather than a easily forgettable "box office smash"
Jamo The Blamo There’s tons of potential for new Silent Hill stories, it’s just that the developers of the later games (and Tomm Hulett), only cared about ripping off Silent Hill 2 with very microscopic changes. This is exactly what Jim Sterling said when he talked about the Call of Duty craze, you can’t copy something and expect to copy its success as well. Shattered Memories at least _tried_ to do something different. Homecoming had the potential to touch on the themes of war veterans returning home and seeing the world differently, PTSD and other things like that. Instead, they rehashed bits of Silent Hill 2 and the character you play as made up in his head that he was a war veteran despite the fact that you have very fast paced, powerful combat.
I can't remember if it was the commentary or an interview I heard it in, but they originally intended for Harry Mason to be the main character in the first movie, but then they kind of had a "fathers would never do this much for their daughters" moment and gave him ovaries, simply because Harry wouldn't be "masculine" enough to rescue his daughter, because if a dude ran the show, he'd have to be a screaming badass, rather than emotional and caring... and Harry was caring. I had been looking forward to seeing Harry's character in a film version of the game because I liked him so much as a protagonist. I get the whole "We want more strong female leads" thing, but Harry was an important character to me because of how little of a stereotypical muscle-bound jock he was compared to almost every other male protagonist. He was a good male symbol to show that regular guys, not just Taken style Liam Neesons, can also be heroes. He was also a wonderful role model for fathers everywhere. You don't have to be some alpha male douchebag to give a shit about your family. I still thought the movie was okay, but I definitely would have preferred it if Harry was in it. Especially if he was the version of Harry from Shattered Memories. I was a tad offended at the whole "when we described Harry on paper, he was a woman" because he had emotions. Sexism: it's not just for women anymore!
ZenoDovahkiin True. Men's bullshit ideals of what it means to be a man were also very popular in the old days, back when they had complete dominion over women, and any man that didn't conform was mocked, shamed, or beat up. Men have always been sexist enough for everyone.
frieza65 You are provably a reincarnation of one of these lovely, pacifist ladies, aren't you: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_feather Maybe if you wouldn't be so hateful, and wouldn't be so reliant on history to justify the hatred fuelling your dead, blackened soul, it wouldn't be so much against your interest to be honest about history, and not just selectively so. Women have always been a driving force of society, and they have bought into the same ideas their husbands have. Women were children of their times, just as men are and were. Women were not enlightened liberals in the middle ages and antiquity. I feel sorry for the misery that must have led to your misandry.
@@frieza65 "in the old days, back when they had complete dominion over women". Bullshit. Fun fact. There was an ancient Empress of China that bathed regularly in the blood of her many victims. Or is that too old a day for you? "Men have always been sexist enough for everyone." There is a word called misandry. I would invite you to research it and reflect upon Humanities struggle with _balance_.
Of all video game movies, I think Silent Hill was the most competent. I rather liked it, and I wish more directors that actually care about source material are signed on to projects like this. I have to give a shout out to Mortal Kombat though, as the movie went on to influence the later games.
I will defend the first movie to the death as a decent film for those looking for a silent hill experience, but the second one was soooooooo bad. Holy shit I haven't cringed so hard at a movie in a long time. No pacing, no atmosphere, all the bad stuff the first movie had but with nothing that helped the first film be somewhat cool. Revelations was just garbage. Ugh...
I know the word "cringe" is tragically misused CONSTANTLY, but MY GOD! Revelations 3D made me feel physically uncomfortable watching the school scenes, like, HOLY SHIT!
I never played the games, but I saw the first movie on TV one night, remember that game to movie adaptations always suck, and decided to watch it to mock it, I was pleasantly surprised by how good it was.
I'm surprised you didn't get snippy about how they changed vincent from a creepy grown adult into some weird ass heart throb love interest with absolutely no similar traits to his game counterpart whatsoever. the silent hill revelations was just an overall insult to the game.
@Bilbous Bagoda No, the first one understood the original story, and the atmosphere of Silent Hill. The people who did tried for years to make it and though it's not perfect, Sean Bean's role being a main reason, the film was oozing with love for the series. If the studio heads wanted a male character in it so bad my question is why they didn't just have Harry Mason be the Main Character like in the original game. I think the Resident Evil films had an influence, where they wanted a female lead. Or maybe it was the horror trope of female leads ala Nightmare on Elm Street, Alien and Halloween. If I was the screenwriter I would have been like, "well if they want a male character let's do Harry Mason". Instead of tacking on the sub-plot outside of Silent Hill. It boggles the mind really.
GundamGoku I read in another comment that originally it was supposed to be Harry but they changed it to a female lead because they couldn’t fathom a father being this emotionally close to their daughter or something. Kinda stupid.
@@GundamGokuTV how can you say that they understood the original story if they just threw it out of the window and replaced it with their own shittier version?
I went to see silent hill revelation in theaters with my dad and we laughed through the entire runtime, it is hands down one of the funniest films I have seen in theaters
If only Guillermo Del Toro and Hideo Kojima can get the rights for Silent Hills back and make the best movie of all time. Also making Silent Hill 2 a movie would essentially be brainless as it's at least one of the most cinematic games of all time. There's a Synedoche level of symbolism, the thinking man's slasher.
I don’t think Hideo Kojima is as good as a director as people think he is, if anything have Guillermo Del Toro solely direct it with input from Kojima as a producer or something, I know a Silent Hill/Resident Evil film CAN be incredible, we just need people who actually know what the games are about and can give us a totally atmospheric snd artistic interpretation of the games in the vain of the Shining or something
I'd love to see a competent and talented director make a film based on Silent Hill 2. Silent Hill 2 is the best in the whole series, in my opinion, and I think with enough care, it could make a great film. The reason I feel this way is that the story in SH2 is a lot more personal. So much of the mythology from the other games is absent in SH2, which, to me, makes it a lot more terrifying because everything that's going on in the town is unknown to James' character. It centers entirely on James' search for his deceased wife. Everything else is just a psychological representation of / metaphor for his grief. The story actually has some very deep themes regarding grief, death, regret, and love, and it's powerfully devastating. I can see an SH2 film being Shining-esque with enough subtlety and care for the themes of the story as opposed to blood, guts, action, and gore. Narrowly focus on tone, atmosphere, and the dread you feel when you actually play the game, because it's the tone and atmosphere that makes the games so good. Make it a slow burn (like the game). Make it more psychological. Make it beautiful. SH2's story is good enough to deserve a competent film adaptation. The biggest problem with movies based on video games is that directors tend to represent the game too literally. Just as an example, in the first Silent Hill movie, the protagonist encounters a hall full of nurses who all look and act the same, and she has to carefully maneuver around them. This bothers me because the reason you see multiple nurses in the game is because it's a video game, and enemies are often duplicated for the purpose of playability. It doesn't make sense to make a movie like that. Directors need to try to be more creative in the way they interpret elements of the game that are designed specifically for gameplay, because gameplay elements don't serve the larger story, and films need to focus on the story. It makes the movie look like a video game when the movie should look like a movie. It needs to be a horror movie too, not just a video game adaptation of a horror game. I want the movie to look and feel like the game in its tone and atmosphere and story. I but I don't want it to be a literal visual representation of the game. Brush away anything that serves only the gameplay and work on embellishing tone, atmosphere, and story. The first SH movie almost got it right. But there was still so much lost in translation, and it gets so ridiculous and fantasy-like at the end. It doesn't feel like a horror movie at all. It feels like a horror video game that was turned into a movie. You get that SH feeling in the beginning of the movie, but it just goes downhill after that. It's so much more grandiose and absurd than the games. Anyway, that's my rant.
I never really liked Silent Hill 2 much, to be honest. And I feel that it's _massively_ overrated. Even though SH1 and 2 were the first ones I played, SH4 is my favorite. Unfortunately, that's the one everyone hates. Because it's different. Oh well.
Silent Hill 4 wasn't a bad game at all. It wasn't intended to be apart of the Silent Hill game series when the story was created by Team Silent though, and it shows. Konami decided that tacking on the name Silent Hill was better than taking a risk on a new franchise. Many fans of the first three games felt duped when they bought SH4 and it turned out to be such a vastly different story and experience. For me, Silent Hill 3 will always be my favorite. Silent Hill 2 explored some pretty deep topics that many games at the time would never had gone near, but I just found the story, art and soundtrack of 3 to be much more enjoyable.
In all honesty, SH2 should be left alone due to how much praise it gets being regarded as the best in the series. My personal favorite is SH3, with The Room a close second. SH2, according to fans, cannot be touched or matched as far as being adapted into a film, even though the first Silent Hill film was basically the setting and tone of SH2 with the story of SH1. Sh: Revelations, though hated by many, is a guilty pleasure of mine due to how close it was in representation to SH3. Albeit, it could have been much better like the first one could have been as well, but I still enjoyed it. I wished more films could have been made, but we can only hope in our restless dreams where we see that town...Silent Hill.
My mother, i love her, but she's real stupid when it comes to this stuff. She thinks that there is no such thing as a movie based on a video game, when the Prince of Persia movie came out, she said that all the Prince of Persia games are based on that movie, Even tho the movie was made in 2010 and the first game was made in 1989 AND she saw me play it before the movie was even made. I know it has almost nothing to do with this video but it does a bit because its a video game movie..... ok ill go away.
My Great Grandmother is 95 and she says we shouldn't send troops to the middle east because "they never helped us with any of our conflicts here in the US" I said we've never really had a conflict here that required any outside help, especially none that could be received from fucking Iraq, and she responded with "Of course we have... you know... when the south rose up! Didn't you ever read about that in the newspapers?"
Pound Sign TeeJay You got it good..... my grandma these days is even going on about how she doesn't even side with the French after the Paris shootings because "we gotta respect other people's gods" -____-" Maybe they really are all just trolling us?
sergiocast345 literally, that first half is the only part of the room I've ever seen, I was watching my cousin play it, and I think he finished it overnight, because I never saw the end.
I disagree with the idea that the first film is still good "for the fans". I actually think it's better if you are NOT a fan of the games because as a Silent Hill fan, I can't help but think of how much it bastardizes the original. The effects for the first one were very good though, and it's impressive how much they designed practically - I'll give them that.
Silent Hill: Revelation was one of those films where you reach the end and feel like you've been asleep for half of it. Technically it had a story, but I have no idea how it got from the end to the beginning, and it just felt like a series of mediocre set pieces. Also, no offense to Sean Bean and Kit Harington, but their American accents were pretty poor (especially Kit's).
@@OCTO358 two year late reply but cybil's death was at least *for* something. she protected and defended rose so she could go get her daughter, and was fighting to the end to keep that girl safe. she never gave in, even when she was screaming at all the people killing her. it had purpose and meaning in my opinion! but douglas got killed literally just for a scare, and his whole character felt like a weird attempt to drive the plot somewhere without having to think of a good way to do it
I liked the girl from the first movie. Remember she had to play three different characters. Sharon, Alessa, and evil Alessa. And outside of the beginning, she was really good, and I would've loved to see her reprise her Sharon/Heather role since she was 18 when they started production for the second movie.
Holy shit, they FUCKED UP the second movie so hard man. The first one was good, it kept the essence of the game but oh boy, the second movie self destructed spectacularly.
What was the point of referencing Silent Hill Origins and Downpour so blatantly? Were they planning on doing a cinematic universe or something? *Because from this creative team, that idea sounds terrible.*
the voice acting for the games IS pretty not-so-great, but someone (i forget who) pointed out in another vid that the dialogue in these games is supposed to be a little 'off' and dreamlike. so it doesnt always make sense or sounds bad but i think that MIGHT on purpose... or not! i know nothing :D -my two cents!
Well the dialog in Silent Hill could be down right ridiculous at some moments. Like in SH 2 when James first meets Angela and drops the WTF bomb: "-My wife died, but I got a letter from her"
Interesting! If the voice acting has this effect for you, rather than detracting from the value of the production, that's great. Unfortunately, the creators' intent is completely irrelevant to the effect that it has on people. Personally, I think that the dialogue was hammy because Konami's game directors are unlikely to be as perceptive of poor voice acting as native English speakers.
The characters were modeled after the voice actors for 2 and 3 at least. So they weren't exactly picked just for there voice acting talents, they picked them because they felt that person was the character.
Yahtzee and Gabe spoke about this in one of their 'let's drown out' series. It's something that Defineatly contributes to the otherworldly feel of the games, but it highly doubt it was intentional.
I have never seen a review with my same exact thoughts so perfectly. and it really pisses me off. silent hill 3 is by far my favorite game and they slaughtered the movie so hard, and I know no one is ever going to remake it and now silent Hills is canceled and it all a whole big bag of shits
+babydoll sarah Hey! Don't moan that Silent Hills is cancelled! Konami need all the money they can get to release their -franchise-defiling- awesome Pachinko machine invasion.
That's what happens when you switch from a director who, while not particularly outstanding, still cares and means well for his creation to a director for hire who wants a paycheck
The monsters aren't psychologically tailored to the main character? Yep, sounds like it's based on the newer games. "NEEDS PYRAMID HEAD AND NURSES, WHO CARES WHY?!"
fun facts: the monsters in SH1 are actually tailored to Alessa, they're all things that she was afraid of in storybooks or animals that scared her, and nurses and doctors due to the whole hospitalization. The monsters in SH2 are mostly tailored to James, but also cross over with monsters tailored to other people he meets in Silent Hill, like Angela's monsters. The monsters in SH3 are mostly tailored to Claudia. The fact that the main character is lost in someone else's nightmares as opposed to their own is more unsettling and disturbing. ~the more you know~ Oh, but Pyramid Head definitely belongs in that one game and nothing else, for sure, I'm not arguing that at all.
***** also in SH4 the monsters are tailored towards Walter. I dunno why people have this weird notion that the monsters are ALWAYS tied to the main character when 1 out of the first 4 games followed that pattern.
@@DollarTaco nurses which appear are not sexualized like silent hill 2,even game director stated the SH1 nurses and doctors are real people which are infected by parasite.
Good job spoiling shit. Thanks a lot for that. Seriously, did you think at all before posting thought how many people it would ruin the show/books for?
ProfessorRaskolnikov Are you serious??? I started watching GOT in 2014 and I didn't have problems with spoilers because it wasn't other people's fault if I watched the show later than them XD
Ms Andy Put a spoiler warning. It's what literally everyone does if they're considerate to other people in the slightest. Also, I'm reading the fucking book, not watching the show, which takes quite a while. Do you not take that into consideration, either, when you're thinking 'OH LOL THIS DUMBASS ISN'T CAUGHT UP WITH THE SHOW.'
I'd like to see a YMS/Thoughts on the Resident Evil movies, or at least the first one as I find it pretty decent for what it is. And the sequels just get shittier.
All of the Resident Evil movies don't follow the games at all, not even a little bit. That's why most Resident Evil fans hate the Resident Evil movies. Hell, Resident Evil games went to complete shit when they released Resident Evil 4. RE4 and all the Resident Evil games that followed were trash, they all were just Action shooting games with some zombies. And the latest game wasn't even a true resident evil game to begin with. I gave up on the Resident Evil franchise a very long time ago. I played RE4 for about 45mins, and I couldn't play it anymore, it was way to bad. And that was the end of the true resident evil games.
joel1975 It’s not like the director/producer remembers what happens in his own films anyway considering the continuity in those films keep changing for no reason. The live action Resident Evil movies are the perfect examples of not giving a shit about continuity.
"Most female characters in the Survival Horror Genre" What about Jill Valentine, Claire Redfield, Ada Wong, I dunno if I'd count Rebecca Chambers, and Shiva is pretty competent herself as well. Sherry Grew up in RE6 and was fairly tough. The only ones I'd classify as frail in resident evil are Moira Burton and Natalia from Re Revelations 2, Moira was more of a fish out of water and grew stronger over time and Natalia was just a little kid WITH THE POWER OF BRICKS SUPER POWERFUL BRICKS
+Alice Sheep Fiona from Haunting Ground. Not exactly strong but she was the main character and given her situation she was being as strong as an 18 year old could be :) Also I love Hewie ^^
+Alice Sheep Exceptions to the norm. That's why he said most, not all. You'll find a lot more frail ones outside of the Resident Evil franchise. It's not that hard to look.
You forgot Ashley Graham in the list of useless female characters in Resident Evil. Just putting that out there. Ashley was useless. lol But, to add one to the list of competent female leads in horror games, Alex, from Eternal Darkness. She's smart, determined, and don't take no shit from no zombies.
I actually think the voice acting in the original Silent Hill added to the overall eeriness of the town, making your mind really question if anything is actually real, an ambiguous sense of dread because the entire feeling of the game is "something's off here.." and the voices, stilted and broken, add to this beautifully!
One time I was thinking about watching Revelation. I rather enjoyed the first one, and still to this day I think it's the best video game movie adaptation. But then something else came up and I never watched it. Really glad I didn't.
This was before feminism had a third go in the western, and also back then out of touch producers thought that Silent Hill was mostly a guys only club no stiky guerls!11
What i thought was funny about adding Sean Beans character, is that he was added to include the males.. when the main character in the games already was male. Why was this changed in the movie? Because they felt it wasn't believable that a father would go through Silent Hill for his daughter.
Got flagged for 'inappropriate content'. Filing an appeal to restore the video and certain disabled account features, but it's available on my website right now regardless of how that goes.
I'm hella disappointed you didn't mention how much they ruined the back story in the first film A creepy cult trying to summon a God is a lot more interesting than a bunch of people killing a girl for being raped and also she is a neutral character in the game as she doesn't mean to cause the whole silent hill shit to happen but here she made a pact with satan
I could have sworn NO ONE liked the first movie and I was the only one who enjoyed it. But I guess I was wrong. Sure it wasn't the best ever, but it was decent for what it was trying to be.
you have to give the first movie some serious credit. All the monsters were professional dancers with a choreographer designing how they move. Very little CGI was used on them as well, making them 90% costume.
Actually there was symbolism to the monsters in the first film, goodbadflicks mentions these aswell and much better than myself but some examples are... The warped children are Alessas burned classmates, The Scarabs bleeding through the hole after pyramid heads sword penetrates the door implies rape, The literal rapist monster that infects everything it touches again implies rape/molestation, The straight jacket monster represents her rage and confinement in the hospital bed, And the warped nurses implies Alessas rage and jealousy for the good looking nurses that were unlucky enough to have been caught in her anger, explaining why they have essentially blind attacks, implying they are victims of blind rage. Theres a lot more than that going on aswell. Why am I responding to an old video? fuck knows but if you happen to be reading this, I hope this gives you some insight into the more subtle aspects of the film.
The thing that chops the guys fingers off in the elevator actually was in the game - it's the Missionary you fight on top of your apartment building in 3.
I have a special place in my heart for the first movie because it nailed the tone and atmosphere, and you could tell the people making it really wanted it to be made like it was.
That's how you know this movie sucks. They took an actor who practically holds the world record for dying in his films and they not only had him not die in a film based off a survival-HORROR genre of games, but he also had fake "dream-within-a-dream" deaths... This movie is a troll all in itself.
I know, that's what I was getting at. It's a major plot point that Harry Mason's death causes his daughter to take her journey in the first place, and how this movie managed to screw that up is beyond me.
The movie had one cool visual element (everything peeling off into ash when it turned into the dark world) and the very first scene with the demon babies was done well and.......that's about all the good things I have to say about them. The 2nd movie was especially terrible. It felt like the script was written in one weekend without giving a second thought to anything or giving a shit. The thing that made Silent Hill stand out from all the Resident Evil knockoffs was it had some surreal psychedelic shit going on instead of just straight forward monsters. Then you hand the movie to some hack who turns it into...a straight forward horror movie with monsters. In the end, Jacob's Ladder ends up being a better Silent Hill movie than the Silent Hill movie.
This video is old but i gotta say i stumbled across this randomly and loved this review!!!! I probably laughed 20 times or more through out this whole thing and even rewind a couple of parts because i was laughing so hard i wasn't able to hear the whole joke. Omg the pyramid guy cutting off the arms scene 😂 or the silent nurses 😂 this guy is so funny and should do more videos daily. Awesome video man thank you!!!!
Silent Hill 1 was amazing, not a single thing wrong with it. It focused on what Silent Hill is (psychological horror) and not what people think Silent Hill should be (a huge jump scare). Revelations however did the opposite of that. Too many jump scares and way too bloody (I never liked horror movies due to the graphic violence, yes I am a pussy lol). The story itself worked when trying to follow Silent Hill 3 (game), but it felt very rushed. So basically Silent Hill >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Revelations
StarFighters76 dw same with me on the gore front, its just disgusting and unnecessary. Although PT is better cinematically (despite it being a small game demo) than both these movies tbh
Holy shit I DO NOT REMEMBER THE GRAPHICS LOOKING THAT BAD IN THE FIRST GAME MIND FUCKKKKK Great movie though. I loved it. Pyramid heaf was super scary and disturbing in this abu ghraib world we live in. Musics great as always. If I was making it id use a shitload of Apex Twin, but this fits way Better.
Silent Hill Revelations honestly feels like a TV movie you would find on FX Fearless. I can't be the only one who feels that way. But I will be leniate on it because of nostalgia alone.
the problem with the first movie is that it completely disregarded the psychological element of the game and just gave us the more popular monsters, so it was pretty weak but it did look very good, the socond one tho....o lord the second one
I went to see this movie when it first came out. One of the staff laughed at me because I was going to literally be the only person in the theatre. (A minute or two into it starting, two more people came in, but still.)
The first film was good in the sense that it truly represented the game and for viewers unfamiliar with the game will immediately feel disturbed and unsettled. Unfortunately some bad dialogue and a bit of story problems, it really wasn't such a bad film. I wish the nurse scene was LONGER though, they totally milked out all the tension. I dare not even want to see the sequel, absolutely not.
The best part of this film was the very beginning in 3D. The falling ash effect was top notch and probably the best 3D experience I've had. It literally felt like it was falling in front of me. too bad it lasted like 2 minutes and then the rest happened.
Good game to film/show adaptations: -Ace Attorney: Pheonix Wright (live action,) -Professor Layton and the Eternal Diva, -Fire Emblem (ova,) -Kid Icarus Uprising ONA, -Pokemon Origins (4 episode ova based on gen 1 that's actually good, unlike the rest of the pokemon anime) There's a few more I forgot xD In conclusion, leave these adaptations to be made in Japan
Awesome but those are either tv movies, direct to dvd movies or limited theatrical releases. they don't count because they aren't the same a feature film adaptations like lara croft or silent hill
Medhaav Mahesh last time I checked not every country has theaters, and not every theater plays every big movie. That would mean every movie plays in "select theaters"
LOVE this video! Have you thought of teaming up with TwinPerfect, the guys who did, "The Real Silent Hill Experience" series? I think it would be cool.

The first movie might not have been that great, but the way it looked was phenomenal... visually it looked JUST LIKE the game and the tone was amazing. I have to give it credit for that.
Yeah, I thought the movie could have been better, but it at least captured the atmosphere pretty well...
I like how they imitated the camera angles. Really gives you the Silent Hill Vibe.
The CGI has aged horribly, but luckily the good camera work makes up for it.
i actually liked that the score for the first movie was pretty much the akira yamaoka soundtracks from the game
Well considering that they had to make a set with three different worlds. The normal world, the fog world and the world where everything is rotten they nailed the atmosphere of the original game. And there is alot of symbolism as to what happened to the town and specifically Alessa. Sure the script is not perfect (in the original movie) but I like to think of it as a underrated horror film adapted from a game.

If anything involving Silent Hill uses more than 1 or 2 jumpscares, it's being done wrong.
+JakeTakesTheCakes just a cat...
+JakeTakesTheCakes very true. suspense, atmosphere and disturbing imagery is all it would take to make a good SH movie
+JakeTakesTheCakes The actual Silent Hill games did have jump scares. It's really more about the way the jumpscares are presented. Are they there to just give you a cheap jolt? Or are they there to add to the dread and freakiness of the situation? That's where the line is drawn.
+JakeTakesTheCakes SH3 has way more cheap jumpscares than previous games combined, so in a sense Revelation is truly trying to mimic that game.
The best one it terms of jumpscares, for sure.

I was walking around on campus the other day and I just saw a lone red shoe on the ground. Pretty exciting shit.
Auxkom Wow, that has to be the dumbest thing I've heard today! Congratulations!
Your award will arrive within 10-12 business days.
Sousabird u mad because you get excited over a shoe? because that'd the dumbest thing I have heard today.
The Sober Demoman wow so mad.
The Sober Demoman pretty much the state of the guy I have responded to. it's obvious and entertaining
If it gets foggy, get the fuck out of your state ASAP
Lmao, Sean Bean even dies in a movie where he doesn't die.
Funny because his character dies in the game. Besides that, even though he may not die in this movie, he's definitely dead inside.
I sort of wish someone would make a Silent Hill film with a completely new story, that complimented the existing games rather than trying to adapt them. That way, hopefully more thought would go into it.
Dylan Rollins Yeah...I'm with Adam, SH3 is my favorite, despite its flaws, because Heather is just so much fun to play as. But they butchered her so badly in the movie that it's just unforgivable, which is sad, since I think the story would really make for a great film if handled properly.
Dylan Rollins
I don't trust people to write new silent hill stories after all the games and every single game that came after 4.
They all had awful stories
+Dylan Rollins if i won the euro millions lottery i would put as much as I could into funding the making of a proper silent hill movie, probably based on the second game (as the existing films already ruined 1 & 3). I would offer all the original team silent members huge sums of money to be in charge of the story/script, music and visual design, with a film making studio team at their disposal that has to comply to all their ideas. And as a fan I would not expect profit or even all my money back, I would aim to have the film be a cult classic psychological horror masterpiece rather than a easily forgettable "box office smash"
Amelia Bee SH2 is better imo.
Definitely among the best games ever made
Jamo The Blamo There’s tons of potential for new Silent Hill stories, it’s just that the developers of the later games (and Tomm Hulett), only cared about ripping off Silent Hill 2 with very microscopic changes. This is exactly what Jim Sterling said when he talked about the Call of Duty craze, you can’t copy something and expect to copy its success as well. Shattered Memories at least _tried_ to do something different. Homecoming had the potential to touch on the themes of war veterans returning home and seeing the world differently, PTSD and other things like that. Instead, they rehashed bits of Silent Hill 2 and the character you play as made up in his head that he was a war veteran despite the fact that you have very fast paced, powerful combat.
I can't remember if it was the commentary or an interview I heard it in, but they originally intended for Harry Mason to be the main character in the first movie, but then they kind of had a "fathers would never do this much for their daughters" moment and gave him ovaries, simply because Harry wouldn't be "masculine" enough to rescue his daughter, because if a dude ran the show, he'd have to be a screaming badass, rather than emotional and caring... and Harry was caring.
I had been looking forward to seeing Harry's character in a film version of the game because I liked him so much as a protagonist. I get the whole "We want more strong female leads" thing, but Harry was an important character to me because of how little of a stereotypical muscle-bound jock he was compared to almost every other male protagonist. He was a good male symbol to show that regular guys, not just Taken style Liam Neesons, can also be heroes. He was also a wonderful role model for fathers everywhere.
You don't have to be some alpha male douchebag to give a shit about your family. I still thought the movie was okay, but I definitely would have preferred it if Harry was in it. Especially if he was the version of Harry from Shattered Memories.
I was a tad offended at the whole "when we described Harry on paper, he was a woman" because he had emotions. Sexism: it's not just for women anymore!
MelancholyRose Awesome comment, I agree completely.
It never was against women only.
ZenoDovahkiin True. Men's bullshit ideals of what it means to be a man were also very popular in the old days, back when they had complete dominion over women, and any man that didn't conform was mocked, shamed, or beat up. Men have always been sexist enough for everyone.
frieza65 You are provably a reincarnation of one of these lovely, pacifist ladies, aren't you: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_feather
Maybe if you wouldn't be so hateful, and wouldn't be so reliant on history to justify the hatred fuelling your dead, blackened soul, it wouldn't be so much against your interest to be honest about history, and not just selectively so. Women have always been a driving force of society, and they have bought into the same ideas their husbands have. Women were children of their times, just as men are and were. Women were not enlightened liberals in the middle ages and antiquity.
I feel sorry for the misery that must have led to your misandry.
@@frieza65 "in the old days, back when they had complete dominion over women". Bullshit. Fun fact. There was an ancient Empress of China that bathed regularly in the blood of her many victims. Or is that too old a day for you? "Men have always been sexist enough for everyone." There is a word called misandry. I would invite you to research it and reflect upon Humanities struggle with _balance_.
The creature effects were really good an-OH MY GOD ITS ANDREA

Of all video game movies, I think Silent Hill was the most competent. I rather liked it, and I wish more directors that actually care about source material are signed on to projects like this. I have to give a shout out to Mortal Kombat though, as the movie went on to influence the later games.
hello
I will defend the first movie to the death as a decent film for those looking for a silent hill experience, but the second one was soooooooo bad. Holy shit I haven't cringed so hard at a movie in a long time. No pacing, no atmosphere, all the bad stuff the first movie had but with nothing that helped the first film be somewhat cool. Revelations was just garbage. Ugh...
I know the word "cringe" is tragically misused CONSTANTLY, but MY GOD! Revelations 3D made me feel physically uncomfortable watching the school scenes, like, HOLY SHIT!
Like the guy said, they couldn't think of a decent name for the movie so they just called it 'Revelation'.
The first one is okay. I don't love it, but as far as video game movies go, it's not that bad.
I never played the games, but I saw the first movie on TV one night, remember that game to movie adaptations always suck, and decided to watch it to mock it, I was pleasantly surprised by how good it was.
Don’t Forget the pop start jumpscare at the begining of the movie🤣🤣
"oh no she wrote silent hill in her notebook..time to add it to the collection" hahahahahaahahhaahah
You forgot the worst part of the second movie, there's a pop-tart jump scare I am not joking.
i think you mean this.

Best wiki page I've ever seen.
I'm surprised you didn't get snippy about how they changed vincent from a creepy grown adult into some weird ass heart throb love interest with absolutely no similar traits to his game counterpart whatsoever. the silent hill revelations was just an overall insult to the game.
@Bilbous Bagoda No, the first one understood the original story, and the atmosphere of Silent Hill. The people who did tried for years to make it and though it's not perfect, Sean Bean's role being a main reason, the film was oozing with love for the series. If the studio heads wanted a male character in it so bad my question is why they didn't just have Harry Mason be the Main Character like in the original game. I think the Resident Evil films had an influence, where they wanted a female lead. Or maybe it was the horror trope of female leads ala Nightmare on Elm Street, Alien and Halloween. If I was the screenwriter I would have been like, "well if they want a male character let's do Harry Mason". Instead of tacking on the sub-plot outside of Silent Hill. It boggles the mind really.
GundamGoku I read in another comment that originally it was supposed to be Harry but they changed it to a female lead because they couldn’t fathom a father being this emotionally close to their daughter or something. Kinda stupid.
@@GundamGokuTV how can you say that they understood the original story if they just threw it out of the window and replaced it with their own shittier version?
Yes the first movie retconned some of the game and didn’t understand the game story. Plus the visuals in the second were good too.
Why the first wasn't then? They changed Dahlia a lot.
"The Child actor was really really really really really bad."
"Wanna see?"
No, not really.
Just watch her say "SiLeNt HiLl!!!" Over and over again...
I went to see silent hill revelation in theaters with my dad and we laughed through the entire runtime, it is hands down one of the funniest films I have seen in theaters
If only Guillermo Del Toro and Hideo Kojima can get the rights for Silent Hills back and make the best movie of all time. Also making Silent Hill 2 a movie would essentially be brainless as it's at least one of the most cinematic games of all time. There's a Synedoche level of symbolism, the thinking man's slasher.
PT is still better than 95% of all horror films, those two need to get back to the silent hill franchise sometime soon.
Silent Hill 2 is the best in the series though. A movie based on it would make all the sense in the world.
I don’t think Hideo Kojima is as good as a director as people think he is, if anything have Guillermo Del Toro solely direct it with input from Kojima as a producer or something, I know a Silent Hill/Resident Evil film CAN be incredible, we just need people who actually know what the games are about and can give us a totally atmospheric snd artistic interpretation of the games in the vain of the Shining or something
I'd love to see a competent and talented director make a film based on Silent Hill 2. Silent Hill 2 is the best in the whole series, in my opinion, and I think with enough care, it could make a great film. The reason I feel this way is that the story in SH2 is a lot more personal. So much of the mythology from the other games is absent in SH2, which, to me, makes it a lot more terrifying because everything that's going on in the town is unknown to James' character. It centers entirely on James' search for his deceased wife. Everything else is just a psychological representation of / metaphor for his grief. The story actually has some very deep themes regarding grief, death, regret, and love, and it's powerfully devastating.
I can see an SH2 film being Shining-esque with enough subtlety and care for the themes of the story as opposed to blood, guts, action, and gore. Narrowly focus on tone, atmosphere, and the dread you feel when you actually play the game, because it's the tone and atmosphere that makes the games so good. Make it a slow burn (like the game). Make it more psychological. Make it beautiful. SH2's story is good enough to deserve a competent film adaptation.
The biggest problem with movies based on video games is that directors tend to represent the game too literally. Just as an example, in the first Silent Hill movie, the protagonist encounters a hall full of nurses who all look and act the same, and she has to carefully maneuver around them. This bothers me because the reason you see multiple nurses in the game is because it's a video game, and enemies are often duplicated for the purpose of playability. It doesn't make sense to make a movie like that. Directors need to try to be more creative in the way they interpret elements of the game that are designed specifically for gameplay, because gameplay elements don't serve the larger story, and films need to focus on the story. It makes the movie look like a video game when the movie should look like a movie. It needs to be a horror movie too, not just a video game adaptation of a horror game.
I want the movie to look and feel like the game in its tone and atmosphere and story. I but I don't want it to be a literal visual representation of the game. Brush away anything that serves only the gameplay and work on embellishing tone, atmosphere, and story.
The first SH movie almost got it right. But there was still so much lost in translation, and it gets so ridiculous and fantasy-like at the end. It doesn't feel like a horror movie at all. It feels like a horror video game that was turned into a movie. You get that SH feeling in the beginning of the movie, but it just goes downhill after that. It's so much more grandiose and absurd than the games.
Anyway, that's my rant.
Agree, agree, agree !!
I never really liked Silent Hill 2 much, to be honest. And I feel that it's _massively_ overrated. Even though SH1 and 2 were the first ones I played, SH4 is my favorite.
Unfortunately, that's the one everyone hates. Because it's different. Oh well.
Silent Hill 4 wasn't a bad game at all. It wasn't intended to be apart of the Silent Hill game series when the story was created by Team Silent though, and it shows. Konami decided that tacking on the name Silent Hill was better than taking a risk on a new franchise. Many fans of the first three games felt duped when they bought SH4 and it turned out to be such a vastly different story and experience.
For me, Silent Hill 3 will always be my favorite. Silent Hill 2 explored some pretty deep topics that many games at the time would never had gone near, but I just found the story, art and soundtrack of 3 to be much more enjoyable.
In all honesty, SH2 should be left alone due to how much praise it gets being regarded as the best in the series. My personal favorite is SH3, with The Room a close second. SH2, according to fans, cannot be touched or matched as far as being adapted into a film, even though the first Silent Hill film was basically the setting and tone of SH2 with the story of SH1. Sh: Revelations, though hated by many, is a guilty pleasure of mine due to how close it was in representation to SH3. Albeit, it could have been much better like the first one could have been as well, but I still enjoyed it. I wished more films could have been made, but we can only hope in our restless dreams where we see that town...Silent Hill.
"I'd love to see a competent and talented director make a film based on Silent Hill 2"
Just go watch Jacob's Ladder.
My mother, i love her, but she's real stupid when it comes to this stuff. She thinks that there is no such thing as a movie based on a video game, when the Prince of Persia movie came out, she said that all the Prince of Persia games are based on that movie, Even tho the movie was made in 2010 and the first game was made in 1989 AND she saw me play it before the movie was even made.
I know it has almost nothing to do with this video but it does a bit because its a video game movie..... ok ill go away.

"The first three and *a half* of them are great"
Oh my fucking god...
sergiocast345
That got me good!
sergiocast345 literally, that first half is the only part of the room I've ever seen, I was watching my cousin play it, and I think he finished it overnight, because I never saw the end.
I disagree with the idea that the first film is still good "for the fans". I actually think it's better if you are NOT a fan of the games because as a Silent Hill fan, I can't help but think of how much it bastardizes the original.
The effects for the first one were very good though, and it's impressive how much they designed practically - I'll give them that.
hello
The original was a bit of a mess anyway
Silent Hill: Revelation was one of those films where you reach the end and feel like you've been asleep for half of it. Technically it had a story, but I have no idea how it got from the end to the beginning, and it just felt like a series of mediocre set pieces.
Also, no offense to Sean Bean and Kit Harington, but their American accents were pretty poor (especially Kit's).
I don't mind these films. Their not great. But ok timewasters.

"...Really?" The Movie!
I felt personally offended when they killed Douglas after about 5 minutes of screen time in the second movie
I felt personally offended when I watched the second movie. All of it.
hello
You weren't personally offended when they gruesomely killed off Cybil?
@@OCTO358 two year late reply but cybil's death was at least *for* something. she protected and defended rose so she could go get her daughter, and was fighting to the end to keep that girl safe. she never gave in, even when she was screaming at all the people killing her. it had purpose and meaning in my opinion! but douglas got killed literally just for a scare, and his whole character felt like a weird attempt to drive the plot somewhere without having to think of a good way to do it
I can't believe Sean fucking Bean survived a horror movie...
of all movies to survive. a horror movie.
And his character even died in the video game that it was based off of O.o.
He did die, watch the movie again
I liked the girl from the first movie. Remember she had to play three different characters. Sharon, Alessa, and evil Alessa. And outside of the beginning, she was really good, and I would've loved to see her reprise her Sharon/Heather role since she was 18 when they started production for the second movie.
Jodelle Ferland is a great actress...
MichaelLeroi Oh hai Jacob I didn’t know it was you.
Jodelle, is that you?
So wait a minute Ned Stark and Jon Snow where in a same shitty movie?
shh...you know nothing
I had to pause the video to giggle when I realized it was Kit Harington tbh.
Holy shit, they FUCKED UP the second movie so hard man.
The first one was good, it kept the essence of the game but oh boy, the second movie self destructed spectacularly.
What was the point of referencing Silent Hill Origins and Downpour so blatantly? Were they planning on doing a cinematic universe or something? *Because from this creative team, that idea sounds terrible.*
the voice acting for the games IS pretty not-so-great, but someone (i forget who) pointed out in another vid that the dialogue in these games is supposed to be a little 'off' and dreamlike. so it doesnt always make sense or sounds bad but i think that MIGHT on purpose... or not! i know nothing :D
-my two cents!
Well the dialog in Silent Hill could be down right ridiculous at some moments. Like in SH 2 when James first meets Angela and drops the WTF bomb:
"-My wife died, but I got a letter from her"
Interesting! If the voice acting has this effect for you, rather than detracting from the value of the production, that's great. Unfortunately, the creators' intent is completely irrelevant to the effect that it has on people. Personally, I think that the dialogue was hammy because Konami's game directors are unlikely to be as perceptive of poor voice acting as native English speakers.
The characters were modeled after the voice actors for 2 and 3 at least. So they weren't exactly picked just for there voice acting talents, they picked them because they felt that person was the character.
that's exactly what i was thinking when he pointed that out.
Yahtzee and Gabe spoke about this in one of their 'let's drown out' series. It's something that Defineatly contributes to the otherworldly feel of the games, but it highly doubt it was intentional.
I have never seen a review with my same exact thoughts so perfectly. and it really pisses me off. silent hill 3 is by far my favorite game and they slaughtered the movie so hard, and I know no one is ever going to remake it and now silent Hills is canceled and it all a whole big bag of shits
+babydoll sarah Hey! Don't moan that Silent Hills is cancelled! Konami need all the money they can get to release their -franchise-defiling- awesome Pachinko machine invasion.

WHY IS FUCKING PYRAMID HEAD IN THIS GOD DAMN MOVIE ANYWAYS PYRAMID HEAD HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HEATHER AT ALL dammit
saw my original comment... still angry
"old fourteen me"... Holy fuck he is like 20 years old! I thought he was so much older.
First one was pretty good, second one was an abomination to both the genre and the games. Quite the jarring shift of quality tbh
That's what happens when you switch from a director who, while not particularly outstanding, still cares and means well for his creation to a director for hire who wants a paycheck
The monsters aren't psychologically tailored to the main character? Yep, sounds like it's based on the newer games.
"NEEDS PYRAMID HEAD AND NURSES, WHO CARES WHY?!"
fun facts:
the monsters in SH1 are actually tailored to Alessa, they're all things that she was afraid of in storybooks or animals that scared her, and nurses and doctors due to the whole hospitalization.
The monsters in SH2 are mostly tailored to James, but also cross over with monsters tailored to other people he meets in Silent Hill, like Angela's monsters.
The monsters in SH3 are mostly tailored to Claudia.
The fact that the main character is lost in someone else's nightmares as opposed to their own is more unsettling and disturbing.
~the more you know~
Oh, but Pyramid Head definitely belongs in that one game and nothing else, for sure, I'm not arguing that at all.
***** also in SH4 the monsters are tailored towards Walter. I dunno why people have this weird notion that the monsters are ALWAYS tied to the main character when 1 out of the first 4 games followed that pattern.
@@justindaugherty1031 if you noticed Walter also killing the dogs or the other monster in the game which is pretty nice details.
@@DollarTaco nurses which appear are not sexualized like silent hill 2,even game director stated the SH1 nurses and doctors are real people which are infected by parasite.
What were Ned Stark and his bastard doing on this terrible film???
Hes not! Hes the son of lyanna stark and rhaegar targaryen :3
I know that now too :) Anyways Ned was more like a father for Jon than anyone else :'D
Good job spoiling shit. Thanks a lot for that. Seriously, did you think at all before posting thought how many people it would ruin the show/books for?
ProfessorRaskolnikov Are you serious??? I started watching GOT in 2014 and I didn't have problems with spoilers because it wasn't other people's fault if I watched the show later than them XD
Ms Andy
Put a spoiler warning. It's what literally everyone does if they're considerate to other people in the slightest.
Also, I'm reading the fucking book, not watching the show, which takes quite a while. Do you not take that into consideration, either, when you're thinking 'OH LOL THIS DUMBASS ISN'T CAUGHT UP WITH THE SHOW.'
I'd like to see a YMS/Thoughts on the Resident Evil movies, or at least the first one as I find it pretty decent for what it is. And the sequels just get shittier.
I love the first movie myself, and ignore the sequels.
All of the Resident Evil movies don't follow the games at all, not even a little bit. That's why most Resident Evil fans hate the Resident Evil movies. Hell, Resident Evil games went to complete shit when they released Resident Evil 4. RE4 and all the Resident Evil games that followed were trash, they all were just Action shooting games with some zombies. And the latest game wasn't even a true resident evil game to begin with. I gave up on the Resident Evil franchise a very long time ago. I played RE4 for about 45mins, and I couldn't play it anymore, it was way to bad. And that was the end of the true resident evil games.
The animated movies are great. And they're also canon. And there's no Mary Sue Alice bullshit either.
joel1975 It’s not like the director/producer remembers what happens in his own films anyway considering the continuity in those films keep changing for no reason. The live action Resident Evil movies are the perfect examples of not giving a shit about continuity.
"Most female characters in the Survival Horror Genre" What about Jill Valentine, Claire Redfield, Ada Wong, I dunno if I'd count Rebecca Chambers, and Shiva is pretty competent herself as well. Sherry Grew up in RE6 and was fairly tough. The only ones I'd classify as frail in resident evil are Moira Burton and Natalia from Re Revelations 2, Moira was more of a fish out of water and grew stronger over time and Natalia was just a little kid WITH THE POWER OF BRICKS SUPER POWERFUL BRICKS
+Alice Sheep Fiona from Haunting Ground. Not exactly strong but she was the main character and given her situation she was being as strong as an 18 year old could be :) Also I love Hewie ^^
+Alice Sheep Exceptions to the norm. That's why he said most, not all. You'll find a lot more frail ones outside of the Resident Evil franchise. It's not that hard to look.
You forgot Ashley Graham in the list of useless female characters in Resident Evil. Just putting that out there. Ashley was useless. lol
But, to add one to the list of competent female leads in horror games, Alex, from Eternal Darkness. She's smart, determined, and don't take no shit from no zombies.
GEhotpants101 She wasn't useless, she had BALLISTICS
Alice Sheep You and I both know, she was really only good at hiding in dumpsters. Curiously empty dumpsters.
Jesus christ. Revelation looks like something out of a college film class.
It looks like a shitty stephen-king mini series from the early 90s.
***** LADEEE!
David Cage And those mini-series had better acting than this film :/
Mylon Requiem definitely.
I actually think the voice acting in the original Silent Hill added to the overall eeriness of the town, making your mind really question if anything is actually real, an ambiguous sense of dread because the entire feeling of the game is "something's off here.." and the voices, stilted and broken, add to this beautifully!
Silent Hill = Twisted and awesome.
Silent Hill: Revelation = Please stop making Silent Hill movies.
(IMHO™)
yeah im just gonna go ahead and agree with you.
Probably because Silent Hill movies need a director who will be the next person involves in manslaughter.
One time I was thinking about watching Revelation. I rather enjoyed the first one, and still to this day I think it's the best video game movie adaptation. But then something else came up and I never watched it. Really glad I didn't.
1Piecer I thought the writer was the manslaughterer...
that "oh my GOD" after the third girl jumpscare is probably my favorite Adum moments
"lack of a male presence"? That's a weird note to get from a producer.
This was before feminism had a third go in the western, and also back then out of touch producers thought that Silent Hill was mostly a guys only club no stiky guerls!11
Just doing some quarantine re-watching and revisiting your old videos is a damn treat.
What i thought was funny about adding Sean Beans character, is that he was added to include the males.. when the main character in the games already was male. Why was this changed in the movie? Because they felt it wasn't believable that a father would go through Silent Hill for his daughter.
"I'm sorry Pyramid Head wtf are you doing?" I freaking lost it at part XD 9:53

This is the most fair, accurate review of these films I've ever seen! I'm a huge fan of the games and these are my exact thoughts on the films as well
I'm hella disappointed you didn't mention how much they ruined the back story in the first film
A creepy cult trying to summon a God is a lot more interesting than a bunch of people killing a girl for being raped and also she is a neutral character in the game as she doesn't mean to cause the whole silent hill shit to happen but here she made a pact with satan
He probably didn’t mention it because those are both equally cliched and stupid in concept.
Alessa was innocent while dahlia is a bitch in the game.
@@davidpaul6290 I'm sorry what? I have yet to see a movie about a demonic cult trying to bring their God using a psychic child.
The elevator scene reminds me so much of the first time you see rapture in bioshock 1.
True
Adam's voice has changed so much wow
7:22 I literally screamed out with laughter when I saw the movie with my friends
I could have sworn NO ONE liked the first movie and I was the only one who enjoyed it. But I guess I was wrong. Sure it wasn't the best ever, but it was decent for what it was trying to be.
you have to give the first movie some serious credit. All the monsters were professional dancers with a choreographer designing how they move. Very little CGI was used on them as well, making them 90% costume.
This was the first YMS I ever came across and it made me laugh so hard I insta subbed
awww I was expecting a jump scare at the end and then a "really?"
Actually there was symbolism to the monsters in the first film, goodbadflicks mentions these aswell and much better than myself but some examples are...
The warped children are Alessas burned classmates,
The Scarabs bleeding through the hole after pyramid heads sword penetrates the door implies rape,
The literal rapist monster that infects everything it touches again implies rape/molestation,
The straight jacket monster represents her rage and confinement in the hospital bed,
And the warped nurses implies Alessas rage and jealousy for the good looking nurses that were unlucky enough to have been caught in her anger, explaining why they have essentially blind attacks, implying they are victims of blind rage.
Theres a lot more than that going on aswell.
Why am I responding to an old video? fuck knows but if you happen to be reading this, I hope this gives you some insight into the more subtle aspects of the film.
Wow, Jon Snow really does know nothing.
3:33 Well...I did NOT expect that to be the reason he didn’t return at all
"Shots fired you just got burned." You sir need a TV show.
The thing that chops the guys fingers off in the elevator actually was in the game - it's the Missionary you fight on top of your apartment building in 3.
I was watching this video then the jump scares happened and I spilled hot coffee on myself.
I love you.
At 7:31 is the use of Comic Sans a reference to the amazing Silent Hill HD Collection's Silent Hill Ranch sign? I sure hope it is.
wait... is "heather's boyfriend" Jon Snow??
That's all I was thinking
+Erin Ramsey who is Jon snow? I've Been hearing that name everywhere
+simplyDIY he's a character from Game of Thrones
+Erin Ramsey ohh
+Ellen brouwer Yes it is
I have a special place in my heart for the first movie because it nailed the tone and atmosphere, and you could tell the people making it really wanted it to be made like it was.
wait.. so sean bean didnt die in this?!
That's how you know this movie sucks. They took an actor who practically holds the world record for dying in his films and they not only had him not die in a film based off a survival-HORROR genre of games, but he also had fake "dream-within-a-dream" deaths... This movie is a troll all in itself.
Mylon Requiem Worst part is, Sean Bean's character died in the game Revelation was based on.
I know, that's what I was getting at. It's a major plot point that Harry Mason's death causes his daughter to take her journey in the first place, and how this movie managed to screw that up is beyond me.
Oh ok. Wasn't sure how familiar you were with the source material.
I have no idea. Not many people have survived the Jesus fuck.
1:25 I love how the "Pokemon doesn't count" line... doesn't count anymore
please do a Resident Evil version
The Recreation of the original Silent Hill Intro in the First Silent Hill movie was Great. Loved that scene.
The movie had one cool visual element (everything peeling off into ash when it turned into the dark world) and the very first scene with the demon babies was done well and.......that's about all the good things I have to say about them.
The 2nd movie was especially terrible. It felt like the script was written in one weekend without giving a second thought to anything or giving a shit.
The thing that made Silent Hill stand out from all the Resident Evil knockoffs was it had some surreal psychedelic shit going on instead of just straight forward monsters. Then you hand the movie to some hack who turns it into...a straight forward horror movie with monsters. In the end, Jacob's Ladder ends up being a better Silent Hill movie than the Silent Hill movie.
This video is old but i gotta say i stumbled across this randomly and loved this review!!!! I probably laughed 20 times or more through out this whole thing and even rewind a couple of parts because i was laughing so hard i wasn't able to hear the whole joke. Omg the pyramid guy cutting off the arms scene 😂 or the silent nurses 😂 this guy is so funny and should do more videos daily. Awesome video man thank you!!!!
Silent Hill 1 was amazing, not a single thing wrong with it. It focused on what Silent Hill is (psychological horror) and not what people think Silent Hill should be (a huge jump scare). Revelations however did the opposite of that. Too many jump scares and way too bloody (I never liked horror movies due to the graphic violence, yes I am a pussy lol). The story itself worked when trying to follow Silent Hill 3 (game), but it felt very rushed.
So basically Silent Hill >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Revelations
StarFighters76 Oh there are plenty of things wrong with that film, plenty of things. But you are right it is leagues better than Rev.
StarFighters76 dw same with me on the gore front, its just disgusting and unnecessary. Although PT is better cinematically (despite it being a small game demo) than both these movies tbh
+StarFighters76 the story is a big thing wrong with it. the atmosphere was captured well and the music used well but thats about it
Scarry movie
@@mothra8509 No, it wasn't. And that's one of it's many problems
9:47 Yeah I see this problem all the time in all sorts of stuff. It's like directors don't know what whispering sounds like.
Holy shit I DO NOT REMEMBER THE GRAPHICS LOOKING THAT BAD IN THE FIRST GAME
MIND FUCKKKKK
Great movie though. I loved it. Pyramid heaf was super scary and disturbing in this abu ghraib world we live in.
Musics great as always. If I was making it id use a shitload of Apex Twin, but this fits way Better.
I meant the first one was good. Never saw the others.
Silent Hill Revelations honestly feels like a TV movie you would find on FX Fearless. I can't be the only one who feels that way.
But I will be leniate on it because of nostalgia alone.
the problem with the first movie is that it completely disregarded the psychological element of the game and just gave us the more popular monsters, so it was pretty weak but it did look very good, the socond one tho....o lord the second one
I doubt I've ever heard a more sarcastic "shots fired" than yours.
If I remember, Douglas was not spose to die in the first 30 minutes :/
that sound at the end that accompanied the links was the scariest thing in the whole video
just saying but the girl who plays heather is extremely cute :^)
omg at 2:43 that guy thats talking is will weaton, I think!!??
Both Silent Hill movies were awful, but the second one makes the first look like a fucking masterpiece.
Wait a minute? Why is the footage of the first movie in a 2:10 (approximately) aspect ratio but i just watched it on amazon and its in 1:81:1
I went to see this movie when it first came out. One of the staff laughed at me because I was going to literally be the only person in the theatre.
(A minute or two into it starting, two more people came in, but still.)
5:50 that extra actually gave a perfect response. He isn’t in disbelief he just looks at the teacher like “are you gonna just let her go off? Okay.”
The first film was good in the sense that it truly represented the game and for viewers unfamiliar with the game will immediately feel disturbed and unsettled. Unfortunately some bad dialogue and a bit of story problems, it really wasn't such a bad film.
I wish the nurse scene was LONGER though, they totally milked out all the tension.
I dare not even want to see the sequel, absolutely not.
@rick minton Totally agree. The movie made me embarrassed to be a SH fan due to it's gross butchering of the plot, quite frankly.
The best part of this film was the very beginning in 3D. The falling ash effect was top notch and probably the best 3D experience I've had. It literally felt like it was falling in front of me. too bad it lasted like 2 minutes and then the rest happened.
Good game to film/show adaptations:
-Ace Attorney: Pheonix Wright (live action,)
-Professor Layton and the Eternal Diva,
-Fire Emblem (ova,)
-Kid Icarus Uprising ONA,
-Pokemon Origins (4 episode ova based on gen 1 that's actually good, unlike the rest of the pokemon anime)
There's a few more I forgot xD
In conclusion, leave these adaptations to be made in Japan
yeah but those are pretty easy to adapt because they're being adapted into anime (excluding Ace Attorney of course)
Awesome but those are either tv movies, direct to dvd movies or limited theatrical releases. they don't count because they aren't the same a feature film adaptations like lara croft or silent hill
Medhaav Mahesh Ace Attorney was in Japanese theaters.
Minespatch the channel
that's still select theaters because it wasn in all the theaters in the world.
Medhaav Mahesh last time I checked not every country has theaters, and not every theater plays every big movie. That would mean every movie plays in "select theaters"
This is the funniest and realest movie review i'vr ever seen lmao you're amazing
its more like an unrelated movie with a bunch of SH cameos and easter eggs
LOVE this video! Have you thought of teaming up with TwinPerfect, the guys who did, "The Real Silent Hill Experience" series? I think it would be cool.
Heather need no pills to stop anti-bullying.
I she had them, she probably couldn't get the cap off
Breadstick Boss beat me to it
*Dark Alessa jump scare appears for the third time*
“OH MY GOODDD!!!” I can’t. XD
